Adding a new external action to an analysis
Actions that include sending data to external systems make use of integration and connection services in TCI. Services can be created for specific action needs. From Spotfire, the services are then accessed using TIBCO Cloud Mesh, a global repository of these kinds of services.

About this task
See Actions for a short description of different types of actions.
An external service can contain various parameters to configure. When adding an action that calls a service, any defined parameters will be provided automatically in a configuration flyout in Spotfire, where you map them to your data. For example, you can define what kind of data in the visualization to send to the external system.

When adding a new action, you add it to a visualization of your choice, and you can specify one or more triggers in that visualization. When you have added an action, it becomes available for selection in all visualizations in the analysis. That is, an action can be added to more than one visualization in an analysis, using the same type of trigger or a different one. You can also add more than one action to a single visualization.
